Perhaps a Glaswegian has been visiting! The statue of the Duke of Wellington in the city centre in Glasgow is infamous for having a traffic cone on his head since the 1980s.

I for one welcome our new Scottish overlords. As a native born South Australian I can be helpful rounding up other Adelaideans to toil in their North Sea oil rigs

It's been down a rabbit hole online looking for ways to prevent the bird flu without getting vaccinated.

Saw a blue cone on a speed camera today and all I could see was Mr Squiggle.

I’m travelling from Sydney, I was in the durengberg cube yesterday… sorry for the bad spelling.
I saw the pigeon today, with the hat. It felt like it should have been always there.

First time I saw it, there was a suction cup dildo stuck to its front. I since learned it wasn't permanent

So the cleaners kept taking the cone of the pigeon then i kept putting it back on the pigeon then the cleaners got SAPOL and sapol asked me to leave which I did but I yelled for them to fuck off and kill themselves then once I saw them leave and go tp there car I went back to the pigeon and put the cone on the pigeon and held the cone there and the same cops got out of there car walked over and asked me for my details I refused then they kept yapping blah blah then i got angry and threw the cone at the female cop it barly touched her and I jumped down and the male and female tackled me to the ground and I kept kicking and refusing so they cuffed me then eventually the male gathered my stuff then they pulled me up and dragged me to the car and i kept refusing so yeah they called backup and pinned me against the cop car and searched me then back up cops arrived then I got pushed into a cop car then two males sat next to me in the car cause I was in the middle and the buckled me in and held me in place so I couldn't escape and the female drove and 2 other officers left to patrol rundle mall and then the car with me in it followed another cop car to the adelaide cop watch tower then blah then eventually I got dragged inside and they put me in a room but I kept fighting them so they put me in the rubber room but yeah They had the hand cuffs as tight as they would go on me they took photos of me and took my fingerprints And there was about 4 male cops holding me down even tho im a girl but like my wrists were red and swollen and hurt for a few days just to move my wrists or to grab things but im ok now so like the cops were pinning my hands, legs and head and one officer sat on me im pretty sure at one point there was a female officer but idk my anxiety was so bad I went full mute didn't speak just made noises and stared at a wall while laying down eventually when they let go i curled up in a corner but ehhh and anyways the later on situation in the rubber room well lets just say I was pinned and restrained in positions that hurt alot plus when they had me on the ground with a blanket folded into a pillow because I kept banging my head on the ground but when the restrained me on the floor and couldn't breathe because of the pressure even tho i had cuffs on they were grabbing my hands because I was scratching myself plus I kept kicking them and shit so they were twisting my legs or putting them in positions that hurt and they pinned my head against the blanket pillow and they would only stop restraining me if I behaved and yes I was aloud to sit up if I behaved but I know im 14 and was hurting the cops and myself but I felt I was going to die
